Huge Glitch Over 60s P & P Boots!!

  • I can't get the 10% Health Club to work online constantly, either. It did when I purchased a Palm Massager, and kindly deducted 10% from the original price - so I got it for £7.49 and a free gift!

    But it wouldn't do it for any other No 7 electrical item, and it won't do it for general Boots items, like it will instore.

    But I did this twice with a No7 SA, on the No 7 counter, and she was laughing while she did it!!!!

    I have bitten the bullet anyway and placed an online order, while the offer is still on. :)

    Hopefully I can get to a store to try it out as I have 2 x £5 off vouchers.

    I don't suppose it works with the 250pt vouchers too does it. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Yes it does!!!! :j :j :j I used a 250 pts each time. I was kindly given 36 points (I don't know why it was 36 and not 56, but I'm not going to be petty!) plus my 250 points.

    Now when Mr Boots does a glitch like this, I find myself falling in love with him, all over again! :love:

    Can I just ask, does this mean it is cheaper to buy instore than buy online as you can use the No 7 £5 off voucher?

    Yes, :j but the voucher expires at the end of Sunday. Also, if you are/know a Health Club Member (over 60s), Mr Boots very kindly deducts £4.92 as well. :j

    I tried to work out why it was £4.92, and I could only come up with the till seeing the 3for2 original price of £54, less the £5 voucher, which leaves £49, and made 10% of that £4.90 - and just added 2p for the hell of it!!! HTH

    PS - Had a text from the Bluewater friend to say it worked on the SS tills at Lakeside! Just another one of those Boots things, that defy explanation!

    Typical, I ordered online not realising you could use the £5 off voucher which I have several of, I wonder if they would let me return the internet order and buy instore?
    I was actually instore the morning I ordered online and went to look at the box to see what it looked like, but there was no offer on the shelf, not even stating 3 for 2!

    I think I'll need to take my mum with me. I'll provide the £5 vouchers and we'll put it through on her Boots card. I wonder which of the lovely friendly staff I can amuse with this one. There are several who are lovely and will enjoy this little glitch.

    I think I will need to take my mum too although I am not sure if she has a boots card! She can update her card to being over 60 there and then can't she?

    Why does my daddy have to be on holiday now :mad:

    Yes, I made my daddy get a Boots Advantage card just so I can take him for discount.
